Early this morning, chaos disrupted the relative quiet of Pittsburgh's Perry South neighborhood as two women were violently attacked. The incident, which took place shortly after 1 a.m. on Strauss Street, has left both victims hospitalized, one in critical condition. According to a report by WPXI, police arrived at the scene to find the women with severe stab wounds.
One victim incurred stab wounds notably to her face, head, and lower back, prompting emergency responders to rush her to the hospital in serious but stable condition. The second suffered severe abdominal injuries enough to be deemed critical. The urgency of the situation led Pittsburgh Public Safety officials to quickly tend to and transport both for medical care, as was additionally confirmed by a CBS News article.
Details surrounding the violent event remain scant, as investigators are faced with an uncooperative wall of silence from potential witnesses. "Information about the incident are limited at this time since witnesses on scene were uncooperative," officials said, per WPXI. Notwithstanding these obstacles, the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police is steadfastly working to peel back the layers surrounding this tragedy and find those responsible.
